I’m a 30-something graphic designer, MLIS, singer, book lover, avid world traveler, cat whisperer, whale watcher, and art enthusiast. Overall: Ciao for Now was super cute and a really fun read, with the bonus of having an incredible setting in Italy. What I don’t like about it: For the first couple of chapters, who Violet was as a character was a little too ambiguous.Kate Bromley lives on the East Coast with her husband, sons, and her somewhat excessive collection of romance novels. rounded up because I felt very connected to the characters (who are so much more like me and my friends were at around 30 -- focused on building careers and travel and building "forever" relationships -- than all these books where women hang out and watch reality television with their besties while drinking sweet and unappealing cocktails. Overall, it was a sweet RomCom with great banter, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to read and review!
